Dies to Removal

magicdownunder

I have 2x Boros Charm and 2x Wear//Tear in the side, along with Chained to the Rocks numbers 3 and 4. White splash would still be worth it to me for Chained alone. Someone here tested Assemble the Legion. I can't recall who, or what the verdict was. Helios likes it because its great VS B/x/x and ca...

So what do you guys think of goblin wardriver in modern? I've been working on a modern RDW deck and I have been enjoying signal pest, which naturally led me to consider his big gobbo brother. He's obviously not knocking keldon marauders or hellspark out of their places, but I am running stormblood ...

Flames is rarely (if ever) going to have more value against MBC than Mortars - stick with Mortars for that matchup. Field wipes are kool. If you want more hate for U, Awe for the Guilds / Seismic Stomp / Legion Loyalist seem alright. Of course you wouldn't board Flames in against MBC its just for t...

Your really not feeling the Fanatic here against Mono U are ya Z. BTW I've given up on the Red God (bye bye 5 tickets), going to try some rather large changes to the Australian Winter (PyroW) list I'll post it once I'm happy with it. I'm in favor for 3/1 split between shock and FoTF, I'll put one mo...

magicdownunder

Hey Z, I'm starting to think 2/2 split between Shock and fotf is looking quite good here: Vs MonoBlack you get your extra spell to hit the Nightveil Specter Vs Mono Blue, Mono Red and GR its good for 2-4-1 Vs Control, your most likely going into top-deck mode later anyways so its not "horrible&...

Johnny — I have yet to cast Purphoros, so I haven't gotten a chance to see him in action. Magicdownunder is testing him as well. Adding a Dragon in his place is also an option for more reach.

I'm a sucker for Mountains :) When I played IRL this was my fave http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?type=card&multiverseid=20895 - I had my Ext deck foiled out with accompanying shiny Ports and Wastelands :) I'm currently hard pushed to choose between these http://gatherer.wizards....

@windstrider I think I'll test Purphoros, God of the Forge as well, on paper it looks like he drastically improves our bad MUs while being "ok'ish" vs our good MUs I just dislike how he fights for the same spot as Chandra, Pyromaster Good luck with it. I'm not happy that he fights for Cha...

magicdownunder

I haven't played against Mono Blue Devotion, so I might be wrong here. Master of Waves is the biggest problem for the mono red variant, right? Flamecast Wheel and even Rod of Ruin are artifacts that can remove him. But both of those are probably too limited to consider seriously. If they triggered ...

Yeah. I tried it that way too and took out the Satyrs as well. It was extremely frustrating to not draw any of my sideboard cards. In one game, I had an unblockable Thassa killing me. One Chain, and I could have stabilized the match. Never saw one, nor did I see a Mortars to knock her off devotion....

Mono U, Mono B and Esper will be the big decks I think. Thats a given, the top5 are: Mono Black Devotion Esper Control Mono Blue Devotion Colossal Gruul R/x The other 1900+ Grinders think B/x/x Midrange will be a thing and due to this article we may see GW (but I doubt it).

Zemanjaski or any other MODO grinder - what do you expect to see during the MOCS 11 Finals? I'm looking through my Sideboard Plans now and notice I have a few cards which are only used in very limited MUs thus I'm trying to find more versatile options. Beside the top5, I'm guessing BG will be a dark...

Here is a Red-White Devotion List which has taken the MODO meta for a ride:

Its been doing quite well for itself even in a meta chock full of MonoBlack.

So this is probably a dumb suggestion, but is 3 mutavaults, 8 R/W lands, BTE + Firefist too greedy for Walter White, or is there just no reason to?

That's my manabase - I havn't had any issues, but what are you cutting for those 8 cards?

magicdownunder

I havn't played Modern in ages how is Burn fairing in the current meta?

magicdownunder

Where can I find Magic DownUnder's videos? I would recommend reading the post with the videos - I think you'll find it more useful then just the videos themselves. Any chance I can get some feedback/critique on my deck idea? [deck] Creatures: 4 Rakdos Cackler 4 Firedrinker Satyr 4 Ash Zealot 4 Youn...

Can't wait, Z! Grats on the new computer as well, can't wait for more streams. MDU: Assemble is good against mono black, that being the point of me playing it. My shop's meta is fairly diverse, but there's enough black that I'd like a dedicated card against it. Junk midrange is a thing here as well...

magicdownunder

I can't understand the love for Assemble the Legion its only good against MonoBlack Devotion, GW and Mirrors and If your running Z's list the first and the latter MUs are already good while GW is now almost non-existence in the meta. Against Esper or MonoBlue Devotion they get Jace or/and Thassa onl...

magicdownunder

Verdict hasn't been my problem card in those matchups, so I may keep rolling without it and use the slots to shore up the devotion matches. From my experience with Modern burn I learned to highly value four damage 2cc spells, I notice that you suggested burning over-top against MonoBlack Devotion b...

Turning a 1 drop into a ~4 point burn spell has always been effective. Still like my threatens though. Threatens is great vs MonoBlack Devotion, my only issue is that when they have another creature in play (like vaults or merchant) it just become a more expensive Devour Flesh which pumps the demon.

magicdownunder

4) Assemble the Legions is HORRIBLE vs UW/x Control
Really? What was the scenario/outcome that led you to this conclusion?

UW/x run Jace, Jace doesn't care if you have billion 1/1 - if your in a position where you have to target Jace to win the game - your most likely are going to lose anyways.

I'm aware of that, but I don't believe zemanjaski S.B Plan used against aggro and control would work as well against GW and BW. I was wondering if he had any adjustment to the plan against them (like how he does against Black Devotion).

zemanjaski with your most recent decklist how would you board against BW and GW? Surely they don't just fit in the vs. Aggro and vs. Doom Blade Control column.
